Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 c' L" t2 k) x) _4 M0 K % t5 }. B" [; L& X: J$ ~1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # n0 a+ A' _8 [

2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish. + G* w) m( K+ q" L8 I. c6 A% _1 m% N& x$ S
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
